Snapped Shot

Yeah, I'm sure this pose is a real stretch:



Anyone want to bet that there's a rock tucked away in that snowball?

If I were even remotely this fashionable, the world would truly be my oyster.

Hmm: Almost completely retracted—See update below.

I'm generally quite supportive of ye Luton Lionheart, but I think that this might be taking things a teensy bit too far:

Foreword: I think that the declaration 'Where do you stand and who do you stand with' rings true with this excellent essay on the madness of the self professed King of the anti-Jihad movement - The Lizard King Charles Johnston and his pack of blood thirsty ravenous hounds.

You know, the funny thing about fighting amongst ourselves is that we are far too easily distracted from seeing who the real enemy is here.

Priorities, gentlemen, priorities.

Paul, we need to do our best to keep you out of Ye Olde Pokey, don't we? Tossing about overly-zealous anger probably isn't the best way to do that.

Charles, I think it's pretty clear that Islamic fascism (What's it at now, 10% of 1 billion are "extremists?") is a far greater danger to the world at present than race-baiting white fascists (of which there are what, a thousand or so?)—wouldn't you agree?

Just my two cents, y'all. If you want to keep on fighting, I'll just have to go nuke s'more popcorn.



Update: After a series of compelling arguments, I'm pretty convinced, y'all. Josephine in particular has laid things out very succinctly here and here—Some of Lionheart's articles have been extremely unusual, to say the least, and there really isn't any reasonable way to explain these quirks away.

Death threats, charges of random and spurious treason, "accidental" deletion of entire posts—Google Reader sees everything, Paul—it's really far beyond the normal parameters of ordinary "discourse."

But hey, it's the first one of these that I've earned in quite a while:



Now how 'bout some popcorn?

Update x2: By death threats, I'm referring to this deleted post (courtesy Google Reader):

The battle for 'Hearts & Minds' across the World Wide Web begun along time ago with those bloggers around the World who are the cornerstone of bringing truth to our supressed world.

This with me is just one battle in our War on the Web.

Where do you now stand and who do you stand with is the question?

Step forward or step aside so that the real men and women of this generation can be counted and become the new defenders of our civilization for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

Little Green Footballs you are a traitor, nothing less than the equivalent of a Second World War Nazi collaborator who would have been shot because of his treason - Iam sure there are many who would have obliged!

My personal post for you is coming so I am sure your army of readers will make sure you get me message, my tiny stone for my slingshot - Read your Bible and see the outcome!

This was followed almost immediately by this one:

I know LGF wrote a supportive post about my plight, but in the same instance ripped it apart and did alot more damage than good.

God bless you Charles and may He continue to use you.

Lionheart

This seems to be quite a severe mood swing, considering we're back over on the death to Charles Johnson side of things as of yesterday.

First, the Hamas-supporting terrorcrats of the Gaza Strip illegally cross their border into Egypt, after (illegally) demolishing it. Now, they complain that Egypt won't let them back in to Gaza?



When I used to put myself in situations like this, my parents used to tell me that I should've thought of it first, instead of just jumping in and getting myself in trouble.

Of course, I was five at the time.

Why is it that the Palestinians can't seem to get past acting that age? Considering that taking responsibility for one's actions is one of the ultimate signs of maturity, I'd say they have a long way to go.

The expected litany of endless demands can be found following the fold. Continue reading »

I know I'm slow getting around to this, but heh, Ace has taken his little joking headlines to a whole 'nother level.

Good play, sir! Good play.

The press sure is taking the latest pronouncement from Cuba's one-party dictatorial regime pretty seriously:



I reckon this means it's finally safe to say Fidel está muerto, eh?

It is nice to see the AFP throw a little "uncontested" bone to Al Gore. Of course, Cuba is the government that has a slight tendency to lock up those who don't vote for the regime, but hey, maybe by the time we institute that particular electoral policy, Gore will stand a chance at winning something.

More on Cuba's mockery of an electoral process here.

A number of left-leaning journalists have begun bandying about the phrase "slow-motion genocide" in reference to Israel's purported rough treatment of the Palestinian territories. In response, The Elder says all that needs to be said, as far as I'm concerned:

According to the CIA Factbook, there are 1,482,405 people in Gaza. The mortality rate is 3.74 deaths/1,000 population and the birth rate is 38.9 births/1,000.

This means that this year one can expect some 5500 Gazans to die, and over 57,000 to be born.

The upshot is that even if 50,000 additional Gazans died this year—ten times their normal rate—their population would still be higher next year.

To kill that many Arabs, Israel would have to adopt the methods of Syria or Saddam's Iraq or Jordan or Iran or Egypt (with that nice chemical weapon touch in Yemen) or....

Nope, when it comes to killing Arabs, Israel is out of its league.
